Sic Alps Break Up

According to their representative, the prolific Bay Area band Sic Alps are no more. During their July 12 concert in Berlin, they announced that it was their final show. Thanks to Reed Smidebush for the tip.

Mike Donovan founded Sic Alps in 2004 with drummer Adam Stonehouse. Since then, they've had a rotating cast of contributors, including Noel Von Harmonson, Douglas Armour, Tim Hellman, Barrett Avner, Matt Hartman, Bianca Sparta, Eric Bauer, and Ty Segall. Their most recent full-length, Sic Alps, came out last year. In May, they released the She's on Top EP.

Donovan will release his solo album Wot on October 15 via Drag City. Check out Aaron Leitko's article "Positive Destruction", which includes interviews with the band.
